Patient Reviews
Oct 07, 2019
Dr. La Gamma is a wonderful doctor/surgeon!! I had a large polyp in my colon that could not be removed entirely during a colonoscopy. I went to see Dr. La Gamma the very next day and within two weeks I was having surgery. He answered all of my questions thoroughly. Dr. La Gamma was knowledgeable and compassionate. Dr. La Gamma performed a laparoscopic anterior resection on me. The very next day he came to see me twice in the hospital. His team was wonderful and the women in the office were also very caring and helpful. At my follow up appointment, Dr. La Gamma removed my staples and explained that I had stage 1 colon cancer. Wow!!! Was I in shock!!!! I’m extremely anxious to begin with and Dr. La Gamma noticed that right from the onset. He knew how to reassure me that things are and will be ok. He took my husband and I back to his office and spoke to us for quite some time. If you need a colorectal doctor/surgeon, see Dr. La Gamma. You will be in great hands with him!!!
